Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

"Second condition."

Li Yi'an asked: "Can you understand our Great Tang characters?"

Gao Jianwu nodded quickly and said, "Understand!"

In the early days of Goguryeo, they basically copied Datang, and the characters they used were also commonly used in Datang.

"That's enough!"

Li Yi'an took out a copy of the agreement written last night, handed it to Gao Jianwu, and continued: "This is my second condition. If King Rongliu thinks there is no problem, sign it."

Gao Jianwu took it over and looked at it, and suddenly his eyes widened. This was simply pushing their Goguryeo to a dead end. If they signed it, Goguryeo would lose all sovereignty.

"In the first clause of the agreement, Goguryeo must unconditionally compensate for the loss to Datang. It doesn't matter if it can't be paid in one go. We accept installments, as long as the compensation is paid within the next ten years. Of course, interest will be charged. In addition, you have to pay a certain amount of taxes and tribute to Datang every year, as for the amount, we will go back and discuss it before deciding."

Li Yian looked at them and continued: "Second, I will set up a customs pass in Pyongyang. All Goguryeo people who want to go to Datang must give enough reasons and get permission from the customs before they can pass. People in the Tang Dynasty can enter and leave the border at will."

Hearing what Li Yi'an said, the officials behind Gao Jianwu also stared wide-eyed. These agreements are too unfair, and they are the ones who suffer the most.

But they didn't dare to resist and speak out, looked at Li Yi'an, and heard Li Yi'an continue to say: "Third, your internal government affairs structure, what is now, will be in the future, but the replacement of your king, The abolition of princes, the promotion and demotion of officials above the fifth rank in the court, and the promulgation of government orders and laws, etc., must be approved by our Tang Dynasty. In short, since you have surrendered and surrendered, you must unconditionally recognize the status of our Tang suzerain. Tang has the right to intervene in all internal affairs."

Hearing what Li Yi'an said, the corners of Gao Jianwu's mouth twitched, and his hands holding the agreement trembled slightly.

The other officials swallowed, feeling that Li Yi'an's appetite was too great.

If this agreement is really signed, then they will lose their real power, and all of them will only be in the hands of Datang.

"King Rongliu thinks this is inappropriate?"

Li Yian looked at his expression and asked again.

"No...no, General, please continue."

Gao Jianwu said bravely.

"Article [-], in your Goguryeo, apart from the troops necessary to maintain law and order and discipline, you can no longer have troops, generals, etc. If you have any, they will be disbanded immediately. Since there is no army, you can't guarantee safety. For this reason, we will send troops to the Tang Dynasty. to protect you."

Li Yi'an smiled and said, "Look, King Rongliu, I think too much about Goguryeo, and I'm even responsible for your safety."

"Yes……"

Gao Jianwu couldn't laugh or cry.

This is not for their consideration, it is to cut off their possible resistance force with a single knife, and to garrison troops to enter, this can't kill them at any time.

"But you can rest assured that you don't need to be responsible for the food and salaries of our army."

Li Yian added.

"No, absolutely not!"

Someone behind Gao Jianwu said loudly: "If we do this, we will have nothing. I don't agree."

The man was wearing armor and looked like some general, no wonder he objected so strongly.

Li Yi'an smiled and said: "How can there be nothing? Don't you still have a large piece of land? Do you want me to take the land too? Then I will be rude, and I will drive you all out of here."

"shut up!"

Gao Jianwu yelled, it's too late to regret now, it's all that damn Yuan Gai Suwen.

He has already decided that when he catches Yuan Gai Suwen, he must ask Li Yi'an's consent to torture Yuan Gai Suwen severely first, so that he can vent his anger.

He had never tried to hate someone so much.

Other Goguryeo officials are also in this state at the moment. If they knew this, they shouldn't believe Yuan Gai Suwen's nonsense.

Dare to invade Datang, they are impatient to live.

"Please continue, General."

Gao Jianwu said again.

"Article [-], King Rongliu sent any of his sons to Chang'an to learn our Chang'an cultural knowledge, so that he could go back to benefit Goguryeo later."

Li Yi'an smiled and said: "You see, I really think about you, and also for the future of Goguryeo. If any other ministers want to send their children to Chang'an, you can come to me to discuss."

This is not to learn, but to be a hostage.

They are not stupid, how dare they send people to Chang'an at will.

"There is a sixth article..."

Li Yi'an explained the treaties he listed to them, and then asked, "What do you think of King Rongliu and you?"

They fell silent again, you look at me, and I look at you.

"If King Rongliu thinks it's okay, sign this agreement, and we will be a family in the future, and we will never talk about mobilizing troops again, how about it?"

Li Yian said again.

"General Li, can you let me think about it for a few more days?"

After finally suppressing his trembling hands, Gao Jianwu said, "I will give you an answer in three days."

"tomorrow!"

Li Yi'an didn't want to wait so long: "If there is no result before noon tomorrow, we will attack the city directly, and the result will be similar."

Gao Jianwu tremblingly said: "Okay!"

He really wanted to ask, can he go back?I can't stand still.

At this moment, those personal guards came back and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we can't find General Yuan Gai. Some people say that General Yuan Gai left the city last night, and it seems that he took a boat to sea overnight."

"what!"

Gao Jianwu yelled and said angrily, "That traitor, he ran away!"

He was so angry that his face was flushed, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The traitor mistook me, the traitor mistook me!"

Gao Jianwu yelled twice, his whole body twitched, and he fell down straight.

"His Majesty!"

A group of Goguryeo people hurried over and supported him nervously.

"It seems that King Rongliu's health is not good. You should help him back to rest quickly. As for Yuan Gai Suwen, forget it."

Li Yi'an said generously: "I'll give you guys some tolerance too, think about it tomorrow afternoon."

Finally able to leave, they all relaxed, but when they thought about the content of the case agreement, they felt full of aggrieved, and had no choice but to take Gao Jianwu back first.

"Yuan Gai Suwen went out to sea and ran away?"

Li Yi'an thought for a while and said, "Let people take a big boat to look for it. If you can find it, look for it. If you can't find it, let it go."

"Yes!"

A soldier behind him said.

Back in the barracks, Li Jing and the others were already waiting.

"Mister, wonderful!"

Li Daozong laughed first: "If Gao Jianwu signed the agreement, Goguryeo would be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty."

Qin Qiong asked: "But will he really sign?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "I will definitely. If you don't sign, Gao Jianwu will not be able to bear the consequences."

If they dare not sign, unless they want to die.

Even if the Tang army fought from Hanzhou, Gao Jianwu would not live for many months.
